gifts
Wedding Anniversary
gifts mark major milestones, and celebration of this event
can be made with all your friends and family or just the
two of you. Spending life together is worth a big wedding
Anniversary gift . Wedding anniversary gifts can have
a theme.
To ensure your
partner is happy with their wedding anniversary gift it
should be personal. A gift that enhances an existing hobby,
like gardening or model-making, or encompasses a future
need like luggage for someone hoping to travel a lot in
their leisure time. If you're unsure, buy gift tokens
from a shop that sells items they would like so they can
choose for themselves.

The
Silver 25th Wedding Anniversary is quite rightly a milestone
wedding
anniversary. Spending a quarter of a century in love with
one person is to
be celebrated. Mark your anniversary date prominently
on your family
calendar by circling the date. Plan your anniversary celebration
with your
spouse. Start planning how you will celebrate the day
well in
advance.
Silver
Wedding Anniversary Gifts (25th)
The
traditional gift for a Silver Wedding Anniversary is of
course silver.
The traditionally associated flower is the iris. There
is a huge range of
silver gifts available from jewellers and on the Internet.
Whilst tangible
gifts have, of course, the quality of durability, you
may decide to augment
your gift with that of a live performance by a band. If
well chosen, this
could be the making of the celebration party.
Types
of Music
The
type of music chosen for a Silver Wedding Anniversary
celebration will
very much depend on the age of the couple in question.
If a couple married
young, they might only be in their mid-forties, whereas
those who married
later in life may be anything up to eighty plus. Thus,
the choice of band is
fundamental to the enjoyment of the celebration. The musical
genre should,
of course, suit not only the couple but the wider audience.
Much as the
couple may love a 1980`s punk band, friends and family
may not share this
enthusiasm! Band and performer types vary enormously and
include:
1.
Classical Musicians
Classical
music is appropriate for a more formal anniversary party.
Planning
might involve arranging for food, a bar and a venue from
which to host the
event. There is a great variety of classical music available
from chamber
music ensembles to string quartets.
2.
Jazz Bands
Jazz
is appropriate for most Silver Wedding celebrations. Ensembles,
solo
instrumentalists or singers are available, performing
all forms of jazz
music, Dixieland, the "Big Band" sound, swing
and 30s / 40s music.
3.
Rock and Pop "Cover" Bands
Rock
and Pop cover bands play an assorted set of music appealing
to all
ages. Expect songs by "older" artists like the
Beatles, Rolling Stones, The
Who, Stevie Wonder etc.
4.
"Tribute" Bands
These
are suitable when the "real" band to which they
are paying tribute no
longer exists, are unavailable or would be far too expensive.
How
to Choose a Live Band
1.
Get a Professional Band
Ensure
that any entertainment act is professional. Professional
bands are
not shy about posting quotes and testimonials on their
websites.
2.
Watching Performances
Before
booking entertainment, it is imperative to see the artist(s)
perform
live. Whether you are booking for your own party or someone
else`s, this is
the only realistic way to ensure the quality of performance
and the
entertainment value of the performer(s) concerned.
3.
Booking in Advance
Ensure
that you book the entertainment well in advance of the
anniversary
party. Popular acts are generally "booked up"
for months in advance. Bear
this in mind when booking your act, to avoid disappointment.
4.
Price
The
price range is just as broad as the range of entertainment
possibilities
available. It is sensible to arrange for local artists
to play at your
party, if possible. Otherwise, the cost of overnight accommodation
will be
factored in to the price you are charged (and it won`t
be the local guest
house!)
5.
Other Factors
Professional
bands should carry public liability insurance (should
the worst
happen) and all equipment is required to be PAT certified
(portable
appliance testing is now a legal requirement and most
venues will insist
upon it as the absence of PAT testing may invalidate any
insurance). Check
what access, set-up and break-down times are required
together with the
physical stage size: some 5 or 6 piece bands require quite
a large stage.
Ask whether the band will provide lighting (which adds
to the atmosphere of
the event) and check what the total power requirements
for both their sound
and lighting equipment are likely to be.
Conclusion
Any
wedding anniversary these days is a significant milestone,
particularly
the 25th. Choosing <a
href="http://www.a1gifts.co.uk/SilverWeddingGifts.asp">silver
wedding
anniversary gifts can be something of a challenge. The
gift of a live
performance is both unusual and memorable whether given
to the couple or as
a gift from spouse to spouse. In all cases, make sure
that the musical genre
will appeal not only to the couple themselves but to friends
and family
attending the celebration; book early to ensure you secure
the date; always
go to see a performance if you have not used the band
before; check total
costs including any accommodation and also check insurance,
PAT testing,
lighting, access requirements, timing and physical stage
size requirements.
Hopefully, by following the above guidelines in selecting
a band, the
celebration will be a resounding (although hopefully not
deafening!)
success.
